What pixel width should a designer use for the PSD, given the pixel width of the website? (for example, I need a design for a website thats 1920px wide. What resolution should the designer use in photoshop?)
I'm a web developer and I always get PSDs from designers that are ridiculous arbitrary sizes. For example, I just got a PSD (for one single page of a website) that is well over a gigabyte, the image size / resolution is 5616px by 3744px. This makes it really difficult because I have to resize practically every element of the design. I have no idea why or how the designer chose to work in that resolution.
Personally, I would design at 2x the final website resolution, so I have retina images available..

your width should be ok in 1920px and in 72dpi. every images should be as it is in the psd mockup. And then tell your designer to give you a 2x version of the image in jpg separated on the psd.

designer always put everything on the psd. there are different grid that designer follow, but the point is, during the process most designer put every images, 2x on the psd to have a single file, increasing the filesize.
I recommend keeping to 72 dpi and your target width of 1920 to establish layout template, you can always replace web images later via CMS or even manually. Chasing retina displays in the layout file will give you huge (500-700 MB and up) PSDs and there's just no need for that.
